Under the Court Coalition Government, training lagged badly in the late 1990s, when apprenticeships actually dropped between 1996 and 2001. No wonder we have skill shortages in the trades! The simple face is that this lack of investment has now caught up with us. Under the Gallop Government, Apprenticeships have now increased by 40% since 2001. And we have made a commitment of $14million to achieve this boost apprentice ant trainee numbers to 30,000 by 2009.
